My perfect day: Laptop; WiFi availability; Java Mocha; characters demanding their stories be told; a plot that comes together; and hours to live in an alternate reality. Afterward, I return home to wash dishes and vacuum.
Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Mysteries. When I reached my teen years, the romance genre became my favorite and that has never changed. A few years ago, I decided to try my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. I write in the genres of contemporary romance, historical romance, fantasy romance, and young adult romance. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book.
In 2014, I won the gold medal for historical romance from Readers' Favorite International Book Contest forĀ Abby: Mail Order Bride.
